Donna's parents were married... Again.
She was still adamant about nobody understanding, but the wedding had put other sorts of thoughts in her head, that lead her to be pressed against sweaty Spiderman sheets, and to realize-
The first time isn't supposed to be magical.
The boys had teased Eric about it, but he shrugged it off, when Jackie exposed Kelso for never being able to finish the job, and calling him a 2-Second Trevor.
Eric's new job was pulling him away from the Foreman house more often, giving the two teenagers more wiggle room to let their relationship blossom. Red was hired for a managerial position not too long after, and Kitty was back to working her normal hospital shifts.
Laurie was at work most days. So between the Fotohut and school, he was grasping for her at all times.
Nobody had said anything since he had let that I love you slip on the phone. They chose to ignore it.
Red's first paycheck went to a Motorcycle that Kitty had hated at first, then demanded that they keep it. They sold it anyways.
Laurie had been moping around about Fez all week, who had newly acquired a girlfriend. Her sister was saddened by the news.
"I need a drink." Was the first thing she said when she walked in the door, to Jackie who was doing homework at the table. She looked up at her sister, who had tears in her eyes, and furrowed her brows.
"What happened?" She asked, moving to make a steaming mug of coffee, which Laurie drank when she felt the need to drink, and grab a candy bar from under the silverware drawer.
"Boys are stupid." She pouted.
Jackie rolled her eyes at Fez, and huffed. Fez had scored a girlfriend Patty. And while she was different than Caroline, she knew that she wasn'tthere to stay.
"They always are. I don't think she'll stick around to be honest with you, Laur." She spoke, jotting down footnotes on her history paper, and huffing.
The best part of her week by far was when the adults of their street had found out Eric and Donna were doing it. And that wasn't even the best part! They were caught in the back of the Vista Cruiser, ass naked, in the middle of the park. By the chief of police.
Jackie had reveled in the fact that she got to watch them get yelled at. Red quite literally looked as if his head would pop off.
But that was over as soon as it started, Steven and her still making jokes about it in passing, and using it as a subject changer when people were suspicious of why they were hanging out.
Then they almost got caught.
And by they, she meant Steven.
Kelso had ended up buying a CB radio for his van, and found three foxy ladies as they had called it. Fez couldn't participate due to the fact that he was with Patty, Kelso was a man whore, and Steven had no other excuse other than that he didn't want to.
Apparently that sounded off red flags for everyone, because everyone immediately became suspicious. Especially when they found underwear in his room.
They were her underwear. Obviously, they were lacy and pink and cheeky with a little bow in the middle. Laurie bit back a smirk, as Jackie tried to remain calm as everyone questioned him about it. So he lied.
"I was doing it with Jane Jetson."
He really wasn't and Jackie bit back a laugh. "Enough to not want foxy lady truckers?" Kelso asked incredulously.
Hyde shrugged. "Jackie and I had plans."
"To do what?" Donna pried. "We went to go hang at Fatso." She piped up.
"Where were you the other night?" Steven shot back. "The back of the Cruiser seems like a real good pot, don't it?"
The attention had moved away, leaving them almost in the clear. But the suspicions of everyone were looming.
The suspicious nature of the two was quickly overshadowed by Eric running over Mr Bonkers, Donna's beloved cat, and neglecting to tell her.
Like a dumbass.
Fez's stomach pains had come to a head when he collapsed in the basement.
His appendix had finally ruptured, which was most likely due to the hit he took when he had gotten jumped back in September.
His advice to her, before he had fallen asleep, had been that cathaders are not fun. And that if somebody asks you if you want a catheter, to tell them, fuck no. She had giggled, taking advantage of his sleeping form to get cozy with Steven. Her mother had no questions about her sitting in his lap.
Eventually, after he woke up, he ended up convincing Donna that Eric didn't mean to be his dumbass self, and she forgave him. When they left, Steven made a crack about not doing it where they could be caught.
And this event led us into March.
When everything kinda fell apart.
